You can minimize the upload window to continue working in the DAM while assets are uploading.

Once the assets are uploaded, they may appear with an Asset processing thumbnail. While assets are processing, preview thumbnail are being generated and metadata is being indexed. This may take a few minutes. *Note: Assets that are still processing are inactive. (Read more about asset statuses.)

Additional asset edit options:

Log into Webdam and select the asset.

Click on the actions toolbar or the asset thumbnail.

Select the edit option:

You can also rename the asset by clicking the filename in the asset details panel. Click to save.

The duplicate asset will display in the folder with “Copy of” preceding the name. The duplicate asset will include the metadata of the original.

Admins and contributors with delete asset permission for a folder can delete assets. If an asset was accidentally deleted, please enter a request.

You can recreate the thumbnail of an asset that displays Asset processing for an extended period of time.

If you apply a watermark to a folder after assets have been uploaded, you must recreate the thumbnail in order for the watermark to display. This same process applies if you remove a watermark from a folder. (Read more about applying a watermark.)

Select the file from your computer that you would like to replace the asset with. Click upload.

The software won't ignore duplicate files, but there are two ways that you can configure your settings to handle it. The first is to have the assets add a new version. In that setting whenever you upload a file with the same name as a file already in the DAM, you'll notice the thumbnail shows a "V2, V3, etc" and you can switch versions in the asset detail.

The second is to append a "_1, _2, etc" to duplicates, and you'll see separate files and thumbnails for each. You can change which behavior you prefer in your settings under a field named "Version uploaded assets with same name", but in either case duplicates are not prevented.
